Brand new daddy! 

9 years ago

• I didn't have a bachelor's degree or my master's. 
• I didn't know that women's football existed.
• I didn't know what it would feel like to own a house.
• I didn't know that I would add many to the list I call siblings.
• I didn't know that I would gain a set of parents.
• I didn't know that I would be more than happy to take my daughter with us on our anniversary dinner and be thrilled to buy her panties and socks after.
• I didn't know that my husband and daughter would be my whole world.
• I didn't know that my finance would be the best dad in the world.
• I didn't know that becoming parents would make us better people and better husband and wife.
• I didn't know that 9 years with the man I love would fly by with the good and not so good, but always with love.
• I didn't know that I would be so excited to see what the next 9 years brings us.
• I love you babe!

Good and Tasty Tuesday: Mother Hubbard Style

I was looking for something tasty for lunch this last week and realized it was way past time to go grocery shopping.  I have a really hard time with lunch most of the time because I really want it to taste good but rarely have great stuff around for it.  Or so I thought.  So looking around my sparse cupboards I began to throw together something different that wouldn't leave me wanting.  In the end I threw together tuna, mandarin oranges, almonds, oil, vinegar, basil, oregano, and black pepper.  YUM YUM YUM.  My only complaint was that while it tasted really good it wasn't quite enough.  Next time I will try it with cooked rice or over a mixed bed of lettuce!  

Sorry for the short post I have been a little busy and life a little hectic lately.  It all started with a late evening phone call and ended with this....

My new niece and the Auntie she gets to share a birthday with for the rest of her life!

But more on that later!

Well this is your problem right here....

Let me go ahead and just fix that for you.

Good and Tasty Tuesday: Cold Tuna Casserole

This is one of the many dishes I was introduced to when I joined my husband's family for dinner.  It is a great summer dish as it is served cold.  It is a really well rounded dish and one that I go back for seconds and thirds on.  It is also has several of my daughter's favorite foods in it so that is definitely another plus!  And of course as always amounts can be adjusted to preference of taste.
